Great idea, Kokonut. It has put a smile on my face today.

When did Fishbowl become part of the vast right wing conspiracy? They are causing people to buy Ann’s book which will result in the public outing of many liberal fallacies. Well, I can live with that…

There cannot ever be enough of Ann. :o)

Personally, I think we should contact Sen. Biden and request he start an investigation into Ann’s alleged plagiarism.

It is my opinion that the Liberals blew their wad attack Ann over the Jersey Girlz comments, and now that they’ve actually had someone sit down and read the book their realizing how screwed they are.

The rest of the book is FAR more damaging to the Libtard Paradise than the ONE PAGE reserved for the Jersey Girlz.

In her own manner, Ann Coulter prefectly mirrors the tactics of the left in exposing them. A brillant move from a brillant woman.

Christ, if that’s the standard, I think I may have “plagerized” at least two sentences in every college paper I ever wrote, guess I was dodging bullets with every professor that was interested in independent critical thought rather than whether or not every word in the paper was “my own.” But as CatholicConservative pointed out, this way they don’t have to address her thesis.

“Great stuff and hopefully we’ll get to it eventually.”

If it doesn’t interest the Today Show weenie host, it probably won’t become a topic of national dialogue.

It’s interesting to watch so many conservative pundits who haven’t taken the opportunity that Coulter afforded them to engage this fight on a very favorable conservative battle ground…instead they try to suck up to the enemy by showing the rats how outraged they are at the messenger.

Yeah, I’ll name names…Hewitt, National Review, O’Reilly, that guy who used to wear the bow tie on crossfire. Usual suspects.

I bought the book today, and driving home, my Mother (old style more normal liberal) paging through the book said, “She must get death threats.” I would imagine so. What the MSM Leftnuts are missing is that she isn’t being mean just to be mean-the Church of Liberalism is a concept which brings the Left into perspective…and they hate that. Ann is great. I love her books, and read her columns each week.
And this latest snipe at her reminds us of how important it is to make sure that Liberals never have a majority again. Two NJ polititians want to BAN her book in NJ! Is that the totalitarian thinking which we should embrace? Never!
Freedom of Speech is what keeps us from Dhimitude and Naziism.
Keep on Truthin, Ann!

Wow Greg, I book marked that link, good stuff.
I’ve also noticed better off blue is winding down on the rhetoric displayed in some of her previous posts. Must be exhausting harboring all that festering pus.

This is a non-starter, and something we have all seen before. The leftards are not capable of arguing ideas. Their ideas even sound stupid to them.

So all they got is …”THEY COPIED THAT!!!!”
Well copy this…..”LOSERS!!!”

Geez, you would think they were used to it by now.

All the Left has to do is deflect enough attention so that the meat from the book doesn’t get out — for instance, how about a discussion of teacher’s salaries and that argument? How about the chapter on letting off the perps? Great stuff and hopefully we’ll get to it eventually.
So far that’s all I’ve read, but its good and if people will read the chapter about the widows, they (you) too can respond to people who want to challenge Ann.

Thisnis my final answer to those conservatives who think Ann is overboard and cruel…

Where were you guys in past two years when these 4 vicious women making a fortune of their husbands dead body?

Yea…you guys now all come out on high moral ground criticizing Ann for having the gut to speak the truth.

OReilly, get over it. You are acting like a Pharisee waiting to nail Ann to the cross. I am sure your Jesus said more provocative things than Ann since he was crucified as a result of his outspokeness.

What a bunch of coward hypocrites….they could not wait to be fair and balanced. In their concept of fair and balanced is to tolerate those widows for over two years without uttering a word against them.

I read those quotes and while they are similar they are far from plagarized. Now if she made up something out of whole cloth like say Newsweek or the NY Slimes that would be different.
I hope she didn’t quote anything from those rags or she may get in trouble for lying.

So they went through all her books exhaustedly (and they wonder why they keep losing elections) and came up with two press anouncements which are public domain

Did Coulter Plagiarize in Godless?…

No, not really. Maybe one sentence.

Oh btw, “Godless: The Church of Liberalism”. #1 on the NYT’s list.

All the way to the bank.

UPDATE: Did coondawg plagiarize Allah? Maybe one sentence. (H/T – turd)…

Blue,
I thought I was sponsoring you for Liberals Anonymous. I must not be doing a very good job.

As for the plagarism accusation, my response: ho hum. move on now.

If this is the best the Left can come up with, Blue, you have my sympathies. It must be difficult to be forced to deal with reality.

Only impotence I see here is Better off Blue.
Come on man, get off the edge of the bed, and quit lying to yourself. “This has Never happened to me before!”
Hell, it happens to you every time you wake up.

If the reference is above your head sorry, nothing I can do.

Has anyone even bothered to read Franken to fisk him? It never seemed to me that it would be worth the effort…

better off blue, “man-hands Coulter” – and we thought you were open, loving, accepting, nuanced, erudite, for equal treatment and rights, non-differentiating among women, men, transgenders and all others…
